Osamyia Aikpitanhi, a 23 year old from Nigeria died on the 09/06/2007 when he was deported back to Nigeria from Spain (1). The Iberia flight took off from Madrid but made an emergency lading in Alicante when the police officers discovered he was dead.

Osamyia’s family accused the two police officers from La Policia Nacional who escorted Osamyia of beating him up, with three accomplices. According to el Pais, the possible cause of death was from swelling after the police officers put a bandage inside Osamyia's mouth, allegedly to stop him biting. (2)

In February 2010, women at Yarl's Wood immigration prison went on hunger strike to demand an end to indefinite and abusive imprisonment. The women experienced violent attacks and abusive treatment in an attempt to end their protest. Six women were accused of being ring-leaders and moved into isolation and prisons. Nearly a year later, three women remain in prison without charge: Aminata Camara, Denise McNeil and Sheree Wilson.

With a draconian immigration cap being 'consulted' at present, and vicious cuts to higher education in the UK, it has never been more important for International students and UK/EU students to organise.

This is an open meeting hosted by Goldsmiths and LSE Students' Unions, and the Students Not Suspects campaign, and is open to all students in London, to discuss and debate opposing the cap and cuts, and building a network to fight... together... and we can only have an impact if we work in solidarity.
